Ship to shore crane installation with offset cranes

摘要

A ship to shore crane installation comprises a quay (2) defining a longitudinal and a transverse direction, and at least two ship to shore cranes (1) which are displaceable along said quay according to said longitudinal direction. The ship to shore cranes have a gantry structure (6) and a girder (7) supported by the gantry structure. The girder (7) of each ship to shore crane (1) is arranged according to said transverse direction. A trolley (8) is moveable along the girder (7) for transferring a container (5). The gantry structures (6) of directly adjacent ship to shore cranes (1) are offset with respect to each other in the transverse direction so as to enable simultaneous access to directly adjacent container bays of a container ship.
